ECJ PARKING LOT REDESIGNUT AUSTIN: GROUP 5
OVERVIEW
• Define Study Area
• Current Operation & Problems
• Research & Design Challenges
• Calculations
• Final Design Decision
• Next Steps
STEP 1: REPRESENTATION
STEP 1: REPRESENTATION
STEP 2: PROCESS
• Average Annual Rainfall: 32.15 in
• Roof flow piped directly into Waller Creek
• Flow from parking lot to Waller Creek
STEP 3: EVALUATION
• Inadequate drainage
• Unfiltered runoff
• Large obtrusive wall
• Erosion of soil
• Uncontrolled flow
• Wasted space
STEP 4: CHANGE
• Remove and replace the existing wall
• Porous pavement
• Rain garden
POROUS PAVEMENT
• Pavement surface with a stone reservoir underneath
• Temporarily stores surface runoff before infiltrating it into the subsoil
• Incorporates void spaces that allow infiltration
RAIN GARDEN
• Capture stormwater and provide for natural infiltration
• Decrease flooding risks
• Filter pollutants
• Alleviate erosion
